Florida: Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump, who is on cusp of victory in the US elections, thanked his supporters on Wednesday in victory speech.
During the victory speech, Trump referred to the July 13 assassination attempt and said, “God spared my life for a reason.”
The assassination attempt happened this July in Pennsylvania when a bullet grazed his ear.
He pointed out that was because God wanted to “save our country and restore America to greatness. And now we’re going to fulfill that mission together,” he told supporters.
“The task before us will not be easy, but I will bring every ounce of energy, spirit, and fight that I have in my soul to the job that you’ve entrusted to me,” Trump said.
In his address Trump expressed gratitude to the people and said he won’t rest until he delivers a “strong, safe and prosperous America.”
“We made history for a reason tonight, and the reason gonna be just that. We overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible. We have achieved the most incredible thing. It’s a political victory that the country has never seen before. I thank the American people for the extraordinary honour of being elected your 47th President and 45th President,” Trump said.
“I will fight for you, your family and your future. I will not rest until we have delivered a strong, safe and prosperous America that our children deserve This will truly be the golden age of America. This is a magnificent victory for the American people, and it will help us to make America Great Again,” he added.
According to Associated Press, Trump has won 267 electoral votes and is on cusp of achieving victory in US elections, whereas, his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris has won 224 electoral votes.
